Overview

  • League Two Grimsby advanced 12-11 on penalties after a 2-2 draw, with a marathon shootout of 26 kicks at Blundell Park.
  • Bryan Mbeumo struck the decisive penalty against the crossbar after scoring in regulation, and Matheus Cunha also failed from the spot.
  • André Onana’s first‑half errors preceded goals by Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren as United’s expensively assembled XI struggled.
  • Ruben Amorim apologized, described his team as "completely lost" and said "something has to change," comments outlets interpreted as a possible reassessment of his role.
  • Fan and pundit pressure for change surged, United next host Burnley in the league, the transfer window remains open, and no managerial decision has been announced.
